  1. Multi-Instances Configuration Issues in NETCONF and YANG Models(draft-liu-netconf-multi-instances-00) Bing Liu (Ed), Gang Yan (Speaker) Huawei Technologies IETF 90, Toronto, ON, Canada

  2. The Scenarios of Multi-Instances • Multiple Network Element Instance (MNEI) • LS: Logic System • VS: Virtual System • .etc • Multiple Service Instances (MSI) • VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) • IGP Multiple process • .etc

  3. How to manage the MNEI? • Management Scenarios • Independent Management • Normally, One MNEI is one NE, has one session with NMS. • However, MNEI will share main device session in initialing or failure handling scenario. • Central Management • The MNEIs as a whole network element, Share one session. • NMS need configure the each eachinstance independently. • The issue: NETCONF cannot configure multiple agents within one session. • Solution Option 1: NETCONF Context extension (Similar with SNMP). • <rpc message-id="101" context="LS=LS1;VS=VS2"xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> • ...... • </rpc> • Solution Option 2: explicitly define the semantics of instance ID (e.g. LSID and VSID) • <rpc message-id="101" LS=“LS1” VS=“VS2”xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> • ...... • </rpc>

  4. How to design the models to support MSI? • MSI Use Case Example: • OSPF/ISIS can be deployed in the public network as a single IGP process (instance). • OSPF/ISIS can also be deployed under multiple VRF instances as different IGP processes (instances) to connect the PE and CE devices.

  5. How to design the models to support MSI? • Option 1: define keys in module (e.g. define the VRF-name key in OSPF module) • Option 2: directly use one module in another (e.g. use ietf-routing module in a newly defined module, say, L3VPN) • import ietf-routing { • prefix "rt"; • } • ...... • augment "/mpls/l3vpn" { • list l3vpn { • description • "l3vpn yang model"; • ...... • use-module ietf-routing

  6. Next Steps • Confirm the problems in the WG • Collect more scenarios, try to make clear their relationships • May consider to separate current draft • One for NETCONF • discuss NETCONF relevant problems (mostly regarding to MNEI) • discuss solutions in detail • One for NETMOD • discuss YANG relevant problems (mostly regarding to MSI) • discuss solutions in detail
